Hi,
I've installed Colobot: Gold Edition on my PC with Windows 7 64-bit but it looks like there's a problem with 3D graphics, as you can see in the Attachments.
How can I fix this?
What hardware do you have?

I noticed that it only works with Lowest settings in the Options > Graphics, but still, I have misalignments of the head and suit models in the Appearance menu. Why?!
Head and suit are already fixed in dev builds.
Are there any warnings or errors in log file? It should be in users/<user>/colobot, or in game directory.

So you mean it will be fixed in later updates?
Yes, there are several issues in there:

Looks like the problem is somewhere in the new MSAA/filtering/shadows settings. Could you try changing them one by one and seeing what happens?
@tomaszkax86 may be able to guess what could cause that better than I would.
had "misalignments of the head and suit" long ago - was some discussion here about it - can't recall what fixed it but may have been just setting window size or something simple like that
